Bump.

RE: above.
Anyone have a good solution to "Glasses Creep"? I'm good to about 45mph, but above that the glasses start climbing up my nose from helmet lift...

Looks like I'm getting right at 50 mpg too.

Another week of 100 mi/day commuting and I will have put more miles on this bike than my last 2 put together...

Put 1K mi on already... Windshield is a huge hit... Lobsterclaw gloves are a bonus too. Tail Bag is a good thing as well. Keeps my Frog Toggs leggings & misc. junk available...

OI; I have never had my glasses creep up way you describe. Had them fog up in 85 and rainy in Georgia. I have the same wind screen on my bike. Works pretty good.

I'm running a 3/4 face helmet with full face shield this time. Had the same problem when I ran a Full Face Helmet.

As the helmet lifts from air pressure (even when properly "snugged") my glasses rise off my nose until the nose pads reach my eyebrows... which puts my Line Of Sight right into the Bifocal chip/bottom edge of the lenses.

In that circumstance, I'm actually better off not wearing glasses at all.

Short of wearing a PingPong/CHP helmet, (which is useless in the cold) I'm stumped...

you can get goggles with prescription lenses... the ones I've seen look like swimmers goggles. would that help?
